Requesting sentencing details from crown court
Notifications OFFHas anyone put in a request to the crown court for all the sentencing details? If so did they tell you everything or decline due to the nature of the offences?
I was in court when he was sentenced however the judge didn't go into the details of the SHPO. We have children together who currently want nothing to do with him but it would be useful to know just in case that changes.
He is a compulsive liar do won't tell me the truth!
Many thanks :)
The type of sentence they get is linked to what theyve done. Due to prisons being so full the changes of jail is less at the moment.
It's never easy is it!
in our case the SHPO was discussed just briefly in court and details only where the barrister requested changes. I got the redpen version from the solicitor and a copy of the letter that arrived via mail. However I didn t get it from the police or court and I m not sure if you have a right to request it. I had full disclosure so I also got the pre sentencing report and the police report. If you don t have disclosure from your person I imagine you have no legal right to request the documents... ?
Your person will have the details of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) clearly set out in writing. Compliance with the order will be monitored by his probation officer and offender manager. Any breach of the SHPO constitutes a criminal offence and may result in his arrest. If he is subject to a suspended sentence order, a breach could lead to the suspension being activated and a custodial sentence being imposed. With this in mind he will hopefully be unlikely to do anything that risks a breach of his SHPO.
His probation officer and/or offender manager (ViSOR-registered) will have oversight of relevant aspects of his life, including the fact that he is not currently in contact with his children. Should this situation change, they would notify social services and ensure that any proposed contact is appropriately risk-assessed and complies fully with the restrictions set out in the SHPO.
In general terms, SHPOs imposed for offences involving indecent images of children (IIOC) tend to focus primarily on restrictions relating to internet access and the use of digital devices. SHPOs imposed for offences involving online communication with minors typically include both internet-use restrictions and limitations on contact with children.
Since 2024, both IIOC offences and certain online communication offences have been classified as indirect contact offences. However, the typical SHPO restrictions applied in cases involving communication offences have not yet been widely adjusted to reflect this classification.
I hope this helps put you mind.
Good riddance to bad rubbish
It feels like I am completely in the dark over all of this and I ultimately have to look after and protect my children without all the full facts.
He did get a suspended sentence, he only avoided prison due to playing the mental health card very well and the majority of what came out of his defence barristers mouth was lies that he had fed to her. The whole thing was shocking and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He even got the ages of our children wrong, making them younger and more vulnerable to not having a dad around if he went to prison. Either that or it shows what a terrible parent he is, to not actually know how old his children are!
I am still awaiting a reply from the court so will update once received.
As said before, he is a compulsive liar so even if I asked him for the details he wouldn't be honest with them.
